I was talking to a tech at the Nissan stealership (which btw, never buy from them) and he was saying that they've already had someone blow a tranny. :(

[metalman]

Nissan? With sheity tranny???? You dont say!!!!!!! lolz....

[RotorNutFD3S]

That's so stupid. The rest of the car is almost overdesigned, but oops, hey, we forgot to make the transmission strong enough to handle the power coming through it.

[Doppelgänger]

If they had put a simple and normal manual transmission, it would probably be industructable. But no, they had to go all fancy-fancy and give it an over complicated pansy tranny.

[RotorNutFD3S]

True. Although other car manufacturers seem to be able to make strong over complicated pansy trannies without a problem. I think Nissan is just cheaping out.

[Doppelgänger]

I guess that's why the cars with the stronger/more reliable pansy trannies are more expensive (Porsche/Ferrari)

[MeFryRice]

I forgot to mention that they found it was a poorly made part, not the design of the setup. I still don't know why they decided to make the tranny/diff as a whole unit.

weight distrobution... much like the 'Vette and the Porsche 944.

[MeFryRice]

I figured that but I just found it kind of odd I guess....

[amaff]

wow.. that's awesome


weight distrobution... much like the 'Vette and the Porsche 944.

and don't forget about Ferraris and Maserati's.

It appears that Nissan is trying to find a "fix" for their transmission blowing when using the launch control.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Wow... Took them long enough.

[N3v]

i really do hate how they made the transmission basically do all the performance driving for you. I bet people use the aggressive downshifting rev match thing without thinking about it and put stress on all the car's parts way more than a regular manual driver ever would.

[simontibbett]

I really do hate how they even made the car in the first place.

[silver280zx]

They should have just used a 6 speed manual, and they wouldnt have had these problems.

[Bewst Pewp]

i read on zilvia.net someone was already either making their one replacement part for the piece that keeps breaking on them



sad day for nissan

I'll have to find the thread but someone has already converted it to a manual. I'm not sure of the details though. Let me look....

[simontibbett]

There is a manual one some Jap tuner company made, but manual aka sequential..aka in a street car not too much fun.

No matter manual or not, the GTR fails at life.

[silver280zx]

Of coarse the tranny will fail if your trying to launch a 3800lb brick to 60 in 3.3 seconds.

and its not even sexy for when it breaks and becomes a garage queen.
